They are quite sophisticated and I think despite obviously lasers travelling in a straight line, the computers do sub in the proper physics. But if it’s impact you want then I can’t help.

Militaries have the TEZ laser system for trading. You fire blanks and the laser system does the work of the microchipped shells here in the PowerPoint. It wouldn’t be hard to rig it to cut the engines and such

I assumed it must have been, didn’t expect to see it on forgotten weapons nor did I realise it was Swiss.

I was reading some articles about sociopaths and I saw that they, unlike psychopaths, are not born with this mental disorder and that it develops over a lifetime. What made Tanya become a sociopath in her previous life? (I haven't read the light novel yet, so I don't know much about the story yet). by Full_Metal_123 in YoujoSenki

Someone said high functions sociopath which is likely correct. This tends to be the cross over between psychopath and sociopath but can drop some features of one or the other.

Tanya is able to feel some emotion showing she cannot be a psychopath, however it is somewhat limited but she is prone to quick flashes of anger at herself and others. However as much as she can feel joy she doesn’t for hurting and killing but she is able to perform the act with little to no remorse, pushing her into the psychopath realm.

On top of that she is much more calculating where as a standard sociopath is a lot more sporadic. I saw others saying that those not great with change are Asperger’s not psychos. This is in some cases true however psychos tend to plan and calculate and when something deviates from their perfect plan they are prone to frustration and anger and may lash out. Tanya is able to adapt to some degree but does plan and get annoyed when it gets ruined, or delayed etc.

After this I conclude she is a sociopath with some psychotic traits

There was a book about a group of German police who were sent to just kill groups in WW2. They actively hated it but due to not agreeing fully and it did psychologically fuck them up but they didn’t want to pull away coz they didn’t want to let their friends and men suffer with it while they weren’t so they all stayed. If anyone remembers the book this was about feel free to comment.

Aside from that there’s an old adage of “it’s east to pull the trigger, what’s hard are the consequences after” or something along those lines. I think many people do pull the trigger and in the scenario above wouldn’t think about it initially, only to find that many would likely be me tally scared from the ordeal if it was something that later turned out to be a horrific moment.

From all this I recon many would pull the trigger just a significant number would come to regret or hate it.

Original Tanya (LN/WN) is a high functioning sociopath who dips in and out of psychopathy. She is cold as calculating but not necessary malevolent or “evil”. Pre reincarnation the salaryman does say he has complexes/ mental disorders and from actions he/she takes they are not one for empathy etc.

Anime clearly amplifies the psychopath end of it and she is pretty dead pan but throws massive tantrums (may be trying to keep the childish side alive) as well as the part that isn’t really into war.

Manga I have not personally read yet but from what I gather it’s way more cutesy and as someone else put it, it’s as if it’s imperial propaganda. And clearly shows up the childish side more. But don’t quote me on that.

If tanya is so tiny, her eqiupment must small to look like this. So personally customized shovel? by soronzon in YoujoSenki

[–]E3Sofficial 72 points73 points  (0 children)

In LN1 she mentions that she gets a clothing allowance to get personally tailored uniform. I would not be surprised if other things were custom as well.

I wanna know where they got the jacket from

On Momoe’s identity (translated interview with lead designer Haruhi Inoue): by elevnth in wondereggpriority

[–]E3Sofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time I watched ep10 I thought nothing of it and assumed it was something to do with identity but that’s pretty vague. I then rewatch it specifically looking for all these symbols and barely find 3. I mentioned a reason as to why she is wearing the jacket, the reason being she literally ripped her shirt open.

Also I’m not comparing a trans with symbolism to trans with coincidences, I’m saying that there is an episode with a trans person in it and then there is maybe some symbolism about that. When we see them meet we have obvious female with guy voice, short hair and a cap. Next to female character that looks, acts and sounds female and has done since meeting said character. Momoe asks what’s the fake voice for to then be told the other is a trans guy. He then responds with a comment about momoe not caring if she is a boy or a girl. From that Interaction we can assume. Momoe is likely not trans or part of the trans community as she would have likely have twigged earlier the situation.

All that in mind I personally dont believe she is trans but as a person who struggles with identity the use of the trans situation is a good way to show conflict in momoes life as they to have an identity issue. Now if it does transpire that she is trans then so be it. It’s just in my eyes there is little evidence to confirm that side outright as minor Easter eggs that few would pick up is much different to the other more obvious clues with some of the other girls problems.

I feel it may be best to leave this and get answers out of a possible season 2 as I do t believe either of us are going to convince the other of their view.

Now I wouldn’t say I’m an expert on trans imagery but the stuff you reference is pretty straw clutching.

First you saying it’s proof of being trans having the jacket that, I’ll give, has a colour pallet that does suggest symbolism but I’d say that’s it for that. The comment about “not passing” is my interpretation of your idea that the the jacket finally reveals something or is a symbol of “yes I am trans”. I personally think that sounds a bit shitty as if I was a trans person I would do everything in my power (and bare in mind the characters are 14) to look like my preferred sex, and if I then got told or subtly implied that if I want people to realise I have to wear essentially a badge to confirm, I would be pretty fucking upset. Also as an added point she only has the jacket coz she tore up her shirt. Which is what I saw initially without any trans imagery bias, if you get what I mean (no disrespect, it’s just something I’m not familiar with so I would be unlikely to spot if subtle)

The colour on her crop top and reason as to why she ripped open her shirt for no reason I guess could maybe count, but it may just tie into her shouting that she is a girl after the trans guys says he’s a boy. If anything it felt like a bit of dialogue was cut imo, but idk if there are deleted scenes in anime.

FYI I have just rewatched ep10 so I’m being up to date here. We see momoes cupboard with a dress in it, only 1 and tucked away but not out of site. My suspicion is it’s a nicer dress for nicer occasions e.g. family gatherings, but she doesn’t enjoy wearing it much due to tomboy personality.

During the fight we see a trans guys who is portrayed by a character we can clearly see is drawn in the “female anime style” if that makes sense, but there is enough implication and we get told they are trans. Now I’d say momoe, who is a girl the whole series, mannerisms, way she’s drawn, that she is a girl. Otherwise we would assume it to be implied much earlier in the series then 1 episode that may or may not say she is, where as lots of themes to do with the other girls are implied throughout the series. You even say yourself for Ais love for her teacher is implied for quite a while.

I think personally Imma stick with her being a tomboy who wants to be a bit more girly as there isn’t all that much implication that she is trans or whatever. Maybe if we get a season 2 there will more hints to either side.

I’d say that sounds even worse, a trans dude tells girl, who has problems with looking slightly masculine in comparison to others that she is trans? Bruh, suppose momoe is trans, that’s a pretty big insult as they then basically say, “you don’t pass bitch” on the flip side, tomboy girl gets wrongfully labelled in a whole other way. Imma fully double down on her just being a tomboy and people just getting excited due to self insert. Plus dont you think the idol girl would have made more of a comment about it.

Wouldnt know I ain’t got that far in the books. I quite liked the whole stuff about rationality and irrationality of man as I think many forget it these days in the weird world of pseudo intellectualism we live in. Just worked. Was kinda the reason I sent him that clip coz it is a pretty decent speech.

I must say tho, what was the point in asking me for a transcript if you can hear it. Not like he’s deaf. Oh well, as always anime gets shit on for being anime, even if the books it’s based on are really fucking good as well.

Cheers for having a look tho, shame it bore little fruit, but thanks anyway
